Make Me A Song (Performed by William Finn and Vadim Feichtner) William Finn (Ft. Vadim Feichtner & William Finn)

[WILLIAM FINN]
All I’m asking for is a tune
Something itchy to tap my toes to
Something that, in late afternoon
Makes high-strung boys collapse
Mister, perhaps you need some refreshment
What about some oolong?

Oh, make me a song!
Make me a song, boy!
Drag out the ukuleles!
This Israeli’s
Gonna fill the air!

Write me a thing that’s here for all time
Like tennis or Mahjong
And mister, make me a song…

All I’m asking for is a mood
Something hot and not literary
Maybe something raucous and crude
That keeps me on my toes
Nobody knows the wounds I keep hidden
I’ve hid them for too long!

So make me a song!
Make me a song, boy!
Drag out my deepest feeling
I’m revealing
Everything raw inside
